According to Mark Hurenkamp's comment, severity of this bug should be set to Critical. Image your very important app got the same PID as non-existent process had. Then Upstart: - causes data corruption - imagine you are editing your photos and something kills your application during rewrite of a photo - severely affects applications beyond the package responsible for the root cause - any application can be killed ("crashing") randomly
